Boss Hall of Fame Delays - Ask Zac 66

April 17, 2020

Today I take a look at the Big-3 delay pedals that Boss released in the 1980s, the DM-2, DD-2, and the DM-3. They were all revolutionary when released, and are now considered important delay classics. They are all favorites of mine for different reasons as all three have strengths and weaknesses.

‍

Jorgenson/Albert Lee rhythmic delay.

‍

All-purpose delay. Verb-esque sounding

"Makes me play less" delay with many repeats
